An engaging and intimate setting, expert presentations and plenty of networking opportunities to ensure that participants leave with practical tools and key contacts for continued rich communities of practice.

AmpliVox CEO, Don Roth, will be at the event in Chicago on Friday, May 11, 2018 to present a discussion on "Specialized Furniture That Enhances Multimedia In Classrooms".

Remember the days of the big metal cart rolling down the hall with the giant TV and the VCR?

Thankfully, today's furniture is more functional, secure and also attractive.

Educators use a variety of multimedia devices to engage students and enhance learning such as:

Computers

Tablets

Projectors

Smartboards

Document Cameras

Smartphones

Effective devices need to be readily available for teachers and students to use. Being connected to sufficient audio is important, with storage to keep all audio visual equipment secured and ready-to-go.

The right multimedia furniture choices make digital equipment easier to use.

Obstacles to using classroom multimedia devices include:

Complicated setup

Devices not working properly

Equipment creates a cluttered classroom

Moving devices from room to room

Keeping devices charged

Inability of students to see/hear presentations

Keeping devices secure

Today’s furniture options offer customization to meet the needs and budgets of all different types of schools and situations.These are the multimedia features to look for when selecting a Lectern, Mobile Workstation, Portable PA System or Line Array Speaker.

Sturdy, lockable casters provide for stable transportation and power strips and data ports allow for easy connectivity.
